I don’t really see why you’d need such a thing (apart from marketing to audiophiles—who are willing to pay the buck—or for research/archiving purposes—who are also ready to pay the buck).
If you want supreme sound quality you don’t play from a vinyl. A CD (or even FLAC file) will always “sound” better, even from first play. I, at least, don’t really care about the minor degrading my mid-range turn table does to my records. Almost all of the new records I buy come with a download code, so if, for some reason, my record becomes degraded beyond listening—however many listenings that would take—I always have the option of listening to the higher quality FLAC file.
- ghaff 7y agoDisclaimer: I don't actually mean the following seriously. But one almost wonders if you could "play" a vinyl record that came with all the accessories of a vinyl record like sleeve/album art/etc., but the actual audio was coming from a "lip-synced" digital copy. Again :-)
- Animats 7y agoThat's been done as a tool for DJs.[1] The vinyl record just has a time code. That feeds into a unit that has the song in a buffer. The time code is used to address the audio data in the buffer. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_emulation_software https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_emulation_software
